Item Description
Lot of 140 Jefferson Nickels 1950 - 1959
The Jefferson nickel was first minted in 1938 and replaced the Buffalo nickel.
Felix Schlag designed the Jefferson nickel and was paid $1,000 for winning a design competition amongst 390 different artists. However, officials at the United States Mint did not like the style of lettering he chose for the coin and his rendering of Monticello (Jefferson's home). The winning design had a view of Monticello from the corner of the house. The mint officials wanted a head-on view of the iconic building.
This was the third circulating coin that the United States Mint eliminated a symbolic figure from the coin, such as Lady Liberty or an American Indian, and replaced the portrait on the obverse with a former president of the United States. Previous redesigned coins included Abraham Lincoln was featured on the penny in 1909, and in 1932 George Washington began being featured on the quarter.
